First introduced in the Chinese New Year collection in 2014 via its laceless Flightposite Exposed, the proper silhouette appears for the Year of the Pig in transitional pink and purple with expressive geometric shaping. Two hands interlocked are seen at the tongue, an expression often used to signify celebration of the New Year.

Look for the Nike Air Flightposite “Chinese New Year” in China on January 10. US release details remain forthcoming.
